Slip & Slide Highlights

We made a home made slip and slide in the backyard using some plastic, water and dish washing soap. The boys had a blast, even though they were out there so long they ended up with brush burned bellies!

I used the cricut to cut the title and stickled it to give it some sparkle. The paper, stamps and embellishments are from Elle's Studio.

You are my Sunshine

Here are some more pictures from our trip to the beach this summer.  I was excited to use the scraps that were laying on my table, but have to admit it took me awhile to get the squares lined up. But once all the pieces of the layout fell into place I figured the struggle was worth the final result. Everything is from Elle's Studio except the solid cardstock.

These are pictures from our Canadian fishing trip last summer. We loved watching the beautiful sunset every night. I cut the title using the cricut and then inked the lake and sun to mimic the colors in my photos. The lake is cut from Campin' Critters, and the sun is from Summer celebration. The embellishments are from Elle's Studio.
